Bailang (Chapter 5) 3. Defeat Huang Gai in Battle of Chibi (Chapter 5). Make sure to set Guo Jia as your companion |
| Wu (Sun Jian) |
Normal Ending: Join Sun Jian's forces in Chapter 3 and complete the campaign. True Ending (Fate Altered): 1. Save Sun Jian in Battle of Xiangyang (Chapter 3) 2. Save Sun Ce in Suppression of Wu (Chapter 4) 3. Play to the end of the game |
The Game has a Total of 6 Endings
Normal endings are achieved by joining one of the three factions in Chapter 3 and then finishing the campaign without doing any of the fate altered events.
True endings are unlocked after doing the fate altered events for the factions listed above and then finishing the campaign. We suggest setting your difficulty to Historian to easily do the fate altered scenarios.
While you can do the fate altered events before post-game, we still recommend unlocking the normal endings first. Then, use the Story Mode function to do the fate altered events and see the true endings!

How to Join a Faction
Make Contributions to Your Chosen Faction
You can join a faction in Chapter 3 by completing battles for your chosen faction which are referred to as contributions in game.
The game will notify you when you reach a point of no return so you can think over your decision carefully.
Best Faction to Join
Depends on Player Preference
Strictly speaking, there is no single best faction to join as it only affects how the story unfolds and the future battles you will engage in.
There is no right or wrong choice, so go ahead and join the leader who you can stand behind!
Factions Explained
Liu Bei's Forces (Shu)
Liu Bei is a benevolent leader striving to bring peace to the land and swore an oath of brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which is famously known as the "Oath of the Peach Garden".
Liu Bei later establishes the Shu kingdom after the Battle of Chibi. See a complete guide for the true ending requirements for Shu below:

Different Storyline and Endings
Each faction has their own unique storylines and exclusive endings to tell. The Wanderer's choices affect the flow of the story, especially when it comes to chosing a faction to side with.
Players will also benefit from playing through Shu, Wu, and Wei factions because trophies are rewarded for finishing each faction's story!
All Chapters, Missions, and Battles
Different Companion Choices
Companions will also differ depending on the faction you side with! Each faction is also color coded with Shu wearing green armor, Wu wearing red armor, and Wei wearing blue armor, so players can easily tell which character belongs to which faction.
All officers use different weapons, and switching to them during battle also allows players to know how these characters are played during battle.
Different Characters to Bond With
Each faction also has different characters you can bond with. After joining a faction, you can only bond with those who belong in the same faction, and take requests from lords and generals in the same factioon as well.
